Record of John Wheeler as noted by the Society of Colonial Wars in the State of Maryland in its 1940 publication, Genealogies of the members and Record of Ancestors: 389). John Wheeler gave his age as 21 years in a deposition dated 22 January 1652. (Maryland Archives, X: 226). As Major John Wheeler he deposed on 22 October 1691 that he was 61 years old. (Charles County Land Records, R-1:275). Mary, his wife, gave her age as 40 years in court on 9 March 1669/70 (Ibid, R-1:275). His will dated 11 November 1693 was probated 9 January 1694/95 (Maryland Wills, 7: 70). By its terms he left bequests or legacies to his 5 sons, but none to his daughters, Mary and Winifred. One of the properties he mentioned was Middleton's Lot, 96 acres, which he devised to his son Francis Wheeler (Robert Bowman)
